Decorative Balloon Ideas

This post is all about new…ok maybe not totally new but, different ways to dress up your parties with balloons. Balloons are totally classic, they are so pretty, inexpensive and they take up room which sometimes helps a lot at parties. But, they can be done so many different ways that I wanted to share my favorites. Also prompted by my friend Beth of Changing Spaces design when she sent me the most original balloon idea I’ve see in a long time (pic #3). Thanks Beth!

Vinyl Balloon Cling. This one I found from Etsy Seller: The Binary Box. I can see it behind a dessert or candy display perhaps with a vintage theme. You can get them in different colors also. If you have a lot of decor and maybe latex balloons aren’t your thing, I think this is a nice option.

How many times does your child start screaming because their balloon popped?! I thought this was soooo clever, it’s a fabric cover for your balloon that is supposed to prevent it from popping. Even though that’s the thought, I can’t help but think about these hanging upside down from the ceiling by some lovely ribbon…maybe over a gift table so you don’t need as many. There’s a ton of different fabric choices you can get also which is so fun. From Etsy seller: SDK Designs

This is the wonderful product my friend introduced to me! Don’t these just make you say “why didn’t I think of that”?! I so love these “Balloon Outfits” and I like them just the way they’re displayed in the picture. They would be some great favors, something different for kids to take home, keep, love, and display. I’m totally in love! Find them at Tanya Aguiniga Studio

Using traditional balloons? No problem! I found some cute little DIY faces for you to stick on to your balloons to make them a little more festive and fun for the kids. There were a lot for cartoon themes like Sesame Street and Yo Gabba Gabba but I like these little monster decals. Perfect for a kids Halloween party! Etsy seller: A Million Ideas

Last but definitely not least is this wonderful balloon wreath! I just love this, it’s used in such a great way in this picture. How many times do you hang balloons outside and they blow away, pop, or get all tangled up…so annoying. I think the balloon wreath is a wonderful way to “party up” the outside and let people know the party is in here without having to be afraid that all your balloons outside popped.
